What this book is about
In the sixth Red Rising Saga novel, Darrow returns from his mission in deep space to find the Solar Republic facing collapse from within and without. The scale and brutality of the conflict has escalated beyond any previous volume, and the decisions characters make—and the things done to them—carry an emotional weight built from five prior novels' worth of investment. Brown's Red Rising world has always been operatic in its violence and emotion; Light Bringer is the culmination of that ambition.
